Ginnie Springs Dive in January ?

Mon Nov 29, 2010 8:59 am

Last year several of us met up on January 2nd and got our dive on.....Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas for this year?

Oh, yeah! I will be there if you dive on January 1st or 2nd. I am in Englewood, FL that week and will plan to dive with you at Ginnie. That will be my first time diving Florida springs, so I will definitely need help from my VDH buddies on the diving etiquette and gear. Therefore, be prepared for questions!

I am scheduled to dive in Key Largo January 3-5 (picking up my dive buddy in Port Charlotte the morning of the 3rd), so, don't keep me out late on the 2nd. LOL

I think it's a great idea and the 1st or 2nd works for me as well. Maybe we can get our numbers up from last year.

Just think, no dry suits or ice to worry about. Just saying... 8)

If I can find someone near me to share the trip, I might drive down.

We'll sure miss you but without question, you have your priorities in order.

Hope to see you the next time. 8)

How about both days? I have a buddy here in Cayman telling me I really need to do a day at Blue Grotto if I am going to be that close. Anyone game for two days of diving?

Saturday works for me.

Can we get an idea of who is actually planning to attend outside of those who have mentioned being there already.

How about Capn_Tucker & Slonda??? 8)

Any chance we can make it on Sunday? We are celebrating a bit on NYE and I don't plan on getting up early on Saturday if I can help it.

My current plans are to be there Saturday and Sunday (at least until early afternoon). Is there a good place to stay in High Springs, FL?

I will do my best to be there. Maybe I can con Jim (capn tucker) into going as well. I'll bring a bunch of gear for anyone who wants to try anything new.

Any requests?

I have the following regs:

-green label broxton, with original style metal mouthpiece.
-blue label broxton, with original one piece rubber hose.
-NONMAG, restored to milspec.
-Mistral.
-Stream air, all original.
-DA Navy approved, done up late model style.
-Round label RAM.
-Voit MR-12III, which is probably the best breathing regulator ever.

I also have double 72's, double 70's, a single 72, a single 70, an aluminum 80, and various other stuff if anyone needs anything. Just let me know.
